JOY  (T.  M.),  London. 

162  King  James  IV.,  ot  Scotland,  Meeting  the 
Outlaws  at  Penmanscore. 

This  picture  represents  a  scene  described  in  the  “  Ballad  ol'  the 
Outlaw  Murray,”  in  Scott’s  Border  Minstrelsy,  as  taking  place 
about  the  end  of  the  15th  Century,  when  the  English  were  in 
possession  of  a  large  part  of  the  Scottish  Frontier,  and  the  rest  was 
in  so  lawless  a  state,  as  hardly  to  acknowledge  any  superb  r  James 
IV  had  particular  reasons  ior  desiring  that  Ettrick  Poorest  which 
formed  part  of  the  jointure  lands  of  Margaret,  his  Queen,  should 
be  kept  in  a  state  of  tranquility  ;  the  occupancy  of  which  by  the 
border  clans  led  to  confusion  of  rights  and  claims,  and  the  Kings  ol 
Scotland  were  often  obliged  to  compromise  such  matters  with  their 
rebellious  subjects. 

“  The  landis  are  mink  ”  the  Outlaw  said  ; 

“  I  ken  nae  King  in  Christentie  ; 

King. — “  Sicken  like  mercie  sail  ye  have; 

On  gallows  ye  sail  liungit  be  !  ” 

“  Over  God’s  forbode”  quo’  the  Outlaw  then. 

“  1  hope  your  grace  will  bettir  be  1 

Else,  ’ere  you  come  to  Edinburgh  port, 

1  trow  thin  guarded  sail  ye  be  : 

This  landis  of  Ettricke  Foresfe  feir, 

I  wan  them  from  the  enemie ; 

Like  as  I  wan  them,  sue  will  1  keep  them, 

Contrail1  a’  Kingis  in  Christentie.” 

This  picture  was  purchased  a  few  years  since,  from  the  collec¬ 
tion  of  Sir.  John  Murray  of  Philiphaugh,  Selkirkshire,  by  the  late 
Col.  Murray  of  this  City  It  has  never  before  been  exhibited.
